| Breeding my male Hi everyone, been a member for years but rarely post. So my little heart is 5 years old, i decided to never neuter him in hopes of one day breeding him , but have never gotten around to it. I live in the NYC area and honestly have no clue as to how i can go about finding someone who has a female and that wants to breed responsibly. It's not about the money or anything like that, but id like to keep his family tree alive and have a puppy for my kids (in the future). Can anyone recommend anything or point me in the right direction? I just want to find someone that is responsible and is looking to do the same for their female yorkie. |

Five years old is on the older side for a dog that has not been bred before. Have you talked to your vet about your plan. Do you know the health history of his lineage, and the other pups in his litter? It is often more a question of "should he" be bred, rather that can he be bred. Maybe you can go back to his breeder, and see if they have pups that are related to him. That would be a whole lot easier, much less costly, and ultimately a lot easier on you.

http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...-answered.html Please understand that most serious breeders reputable breeders have their own studs and do not use outside stud. That being said, there is much responsibility to being a stud owner. As the stud owner it's not just providing sperm. You must insure that your boy is the best speciman of the breed possible. He must have all required tests performed on him to insure he does not have any of the afflictions that plague this breed. In addition, you must be prepared on how to care for a female that is in Season, as she'll be left at your house to conduct the breeding. And yes, you will conduct the breeding (hands on). The breeding pair must not be left to conduct the deed on their own, that can result in injury to both. At at the worst could render dog's male parts to be severly injured. You must be knowledgable in whelping a litter, as the owner of the female may require assistance. There are other things that you will be responsible for: Are you prepared to take any pups that the owner of the female cannot place. Are you prepared to take back any pups that have been placed and the owners can no longer keep....... So much responsibility....it's not about putting 2 dogs together. You're boy being 5 years of age for his first breeding, I would have his sperm count tested. A boy is usually proven by 2 years of age.... Let me add procurring is against YT rules.

| Please neuter your male!!!! I have just taken in a girl that was breed and has had 2 surgries in 3 days costing me over $5700 and we are still not out of the woods yet. Every day she is fighting for her life and the life of her 4 puppies. Not a good reason to breed your dog or risk the life of the female just to "carry on the family name". Please think about it hard before you do it.....PLEASE!!! |

YorkieTalk Newbie! | Sara, i kind of have the opposite problem. I bought my 1st dog this year i bought a yorkie. I put a lot of research into the bread before making a choice. I never had any intention of breeding my dog. I do not support puppy mills, pet stores, back yard breeders. My puppy comes from a very long champion line. I informed my breeder that i was not breeding him so i did not need his breeding rights. However last week she called me to see if i would be intested in breeding him with her other female that isnt his mother of coarse. I told her i would think about it and really do not know what to do? I have had people stop me and tell me what i perfect yorkie he is but I just dont know. |

Besides, if something goes wrong during the breeding, which it probably will if you've got a 5 year old inexperienced male, what'll you do? Are you willing to adjust to your male going stir crazy after the breeding? He'll be like a teenaged boy that just lost his virginity, with the exception that he'll be marking all over your house to try to attract females...Is that something you want to deal with? I honestly don't know how you've lived with an unneutered male for 5 years, but any kind of male type issues that you're having now will only amplifiy after a breeding. And once marking starts, it'll be dang near impossible to stop them, even after a neuter. Not all males are fit for breeding, I would discuss this with the breeder you purchased your male from. She/he will be able to fill you in about the lines, and if you should/shouldn't be breeding with her lines with as little experience you have in this field. | |

| Never gotten around to it? Seems a little random to start now and at any rate, why would you want to take so many risks since you have no experience? I hope you rethink this decision.

No Longer a Member | I've got to ask...you posted back in 2007 about getting your pup neutered...what made you change your mind? Was it the cost? And considering the "breeder" you got your pup from, I really think neutering is your best bet...you have no idea what genetic defects he may be carrying. |
